Hi!
Q: Is this affecting every file transferred to the SD card, or just some?
Also, have you still got your phone connected to the PC? Your HD can't read the SD card while the phone is plugged into the USB port. (not sure about bluetooth, since i don't use it) If you open the file manager you will see that the storage device disappears when the phone is plugged into the computer.

well i think i fix it man...format few times my card... with win xp , i have put 1 of new roms and problem solved for now,
otherwise i wass geting problems with diferent kind of files...pictures, mp3s...zip files, w/e and they exist on card but after i try to open, says corupted...

I got same problem.
Moreover, I can't see the µSD card when I plug it into PC !
How do we format the card with PPC ?
---------------------
Edit : solution found : downloaded st.ppc420.arm.cab (storage tool), and suceeded formating my SD card !
Now everything works again : I can use my HD like a USB key again.

well, i use card reader...and on right click u can do that, i hope your card is not dead

well i tho i solved this problem...till now ocurs again, onestly dont know whats the problem...now i got 6.5 mobile, basicly im geting this problem when i try to transfer large files and large zip files like up to 100meg.
anyone got this problem and solved?
ty in advance

SD card won't show up on Windows Explorer

I've tried everything I can think of doing here, but no matter what I do, my phone won't connect via USB Mass Storage to my computer. I'm trying to update to the newest firmware (1.5 right?), can I do it directly from my phone? Help please

Look in disk management, see if its showing up in there.

I have the same problem, but I know mine is because the SD card got corrupted somehow. The problem is now , i dont know how to format it!! Windows cant read it and G-Phone's format pretty much did nothing. Im not sure where to go from here..... :S

Have you tried clicking on the 'USB Connected' Notification on the phone and mounting the card?

[Q] How do you properly transfer files while booted into android?

Hi as title says I want to know how to transfer files propelry while booted into android kernel.
For example when you plug in your phone vai USB and use as card reader I can easily transfer files to and from but the problem is that when I unplug and go to view these files on phone the file system hasn't updated and I cant locate them on card.
Ive tried the unmount feature aswell as a hot reboot but nothing. Only way I can seem to do it is to power off and then boot back into android.
Is there any easier way or procedure that I need to follow?

best bet is to load the files in winmo then boot into android

Dude that wasnt my question, obviously I can do that, thats not the point.
My question was the best way to transfer files while booted into android, if it possible then obviously booting into windows and back to android every time you want to move/access files isnt the "best" way and its inconvient.
I appreciate your reply but your answer was irelivant unless its the ONLY way which I doubt (well hope)
Does anybody have a solution?

As of now, the only good way to transfer files is indeed through WinMo (or with a MicroSD USB reader, with phone powered off or in WinMo). Most Android builds support USB Mass Storage, but I haven't heard of one that handles it perfectly (which isn't too surprising, considering Android runs -sort of- from the SD card).
So in short, no there is no other way at this moment that I know of.
Edit: There is a way: through WiFi! There are some applications available on the market that turn your phone into an FTP-server, I use Websharing (Lite) for this. They don't need an unmounted SD card, so they'll probably solve your problem.

Yeah I was thinking more of teh same route, Ive been using drop box for the moment but FTP server would be much better.
I was hoping there would be a solution to been able to access teh files that have been sent via mass storage mode but this could be just as good.
thnx for suggestion.

This is not a quickfix, but I was frustrated with the same problem last night when I was trying to locate the files that I just transferred to the phone. I noticed that unmounting, and remounting doesn't refresh the folders in the system. But I managed to find the transferred files after unmounting the sd card, and then browsing to the root sd card path instead of the mounted partition.
So, instead of mnt/sdcard/ you should look for the files in /sdcard after unmounting the card. See if that works, at least it worked for me last night.

I assume you dont have the USB cable plugged in when you are doing this ?
Are you on the standard stock ROM ?

Problem resolved by connecting USB, using windows to check drive errors on card.
Thanks.
PS usb was disconnected. Running Wild 0.7
I would still love to know what may have caused it..........
Thank you for the reply

Where did you get the card? If it was ebay that may be the issue
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Micro SD not showing files on pc after update

Any solution to this? seems like the update broke it. When i connect to my win10 desktop, i cant see any of the files on the microsd card.

change usb to file transfer

Thanks, still doesnt work though.

When you change the USB mode to Camera, does it show anything?

nope same thing =\. i read somewhere on another forum that it seems to be an issue with the update.. just wasnt sure if it was discussed here

I had the same issue. What you need to do is:
1) turn off phone
2) remove SD card
3) boot phone all the way
4) turn phone off
5) insert SD card
6) boot phone
And then it should show all the files again. I am on Windows 8, but I think this will work for 10 as well.

I had to format my SD card to make it work. I just copied it all to my computer, reformatted it, and then put all the files back on the SD card. That did it.

did u choose the sd as internal memory or stand alone ?
